Is there anywhere to get a comprehensive list of all the pistols that have been used by U.S. military from 1800's-present? I would like to start a collection. Any help is appreciated.

Didn't Iver Johnson even build a small .32 caliber revolver for the military? I think I remember seeing one that said US Property.
THESE REVOLVERS WERE NOT U.S. MILITARY ISSUE. Arms made under the U.S. Revolver Co. name were cheaper versions of the Iver Johnson line. U.S. Revolver Co. paralleled the solid frame Iver Johnson Model 1900 and the Hinged Frame Safety Automatic models, but did not have the safety hammer feature, they also had some consequent minor changes in the lockwork and a lesser quality of finish. U.S. Revolvers were offered in .22, .32 and .38 calibres, and were sold at the same time as the main Iver Johnson line until the 1940s. The pistols were marked 'U.S. Revolver Co.' on the barrel, and had 'US' molded into the grips. U.S. Revolver Co.
Made from 1806 to 1808. The Model 1805 was the first military handgun made at a national armory. It is significant that this pistol is used today on the insiginia of the U.S. Army military police. Pistol is a .58 caliber flintlock. Has a European walnut halfstock. Barrel is polished steel, German silver color.Lockplate is engraved "Harpers Ferry 1807" on tail w/eagle over "US" ahead of hammer. Front sight consists of a brass blade. Manufactured by Pedersoli/Italy. THIS PRODUCT CANNOT BE SHIPPED TO NEW JERSEY OR CANADA.

holy hell
The North & Cheney in fine condition pictured above sold in April,2008 by Rock Island Auctions for $63,250. There are only about 17 remaining pistols known to exist. They were modeled after the 1777 French pistol which they gave us to fight the American Revolution. Fakes of the North & Cheney have been made from the French pistol as they are very close in appearance. We tried to pay them back by shipping crates of North & Cheney pistols to France but the ship sunk on the way. [:(]
It'd be an AWESOME collection!! [;)]
As I said in your first post, pick up a copy of Flayderman's Guide (about 30 bucks) and the first US martial pistol, a Model 1790 North & Cheney, (bottom pic - about 60 thousand bucks) and start building from there.
not really 'my' post, but thanks for the reminder. [:)]
You will save tens of thousands of dollars and still get to see them.
Or you could make a trip to Cody Wyoming and see more firearms and firearm history than you will have time to see.
That Harper's Ferry pistol is about $460.
The muzzleloading replicas alone would make a beautiful collection, and not that expensive. Plus you can shoot them.
I forgot to add all the 1911 and 1911A1 variants. A Singer 1911A1 will set you back 30 to 50k all by it's self.
I've got a Union Switch & Signal.
